The Only Way To Get This Steam Achievement Is To Cheat

Invisible, Inc. is a game that is all about secrecy and hacking. Fitting, then, that one of its achievements can only be nabbed if players mess around with the game’s files. As Siliconera reports, back in early May some Steam players were stumped by an achievement in Invisible, Inc. Called “Meta-Hacking,” its a hidden achievement…

What’s Up With Mortal Kombat X On PS3 And 360?

Last week, publisher Warner Bros. quietly delayed the last-gen port of Mortal Kombat X, according to several GameStop employees, who tell Kotaku they informed customers on Friday that PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the new fighting game had been delayed from summer until fall. The mega-retailer changed the listing on their website, too, quietly…

Luigi Destroys Smash Bros. Wii U By Doing Absolutely Nothing

The year of Luigi never ends. We’ve seen Luigi wreck everyone in Mario Party by doing nothing. He’s reigned supreme over the AI in Meleeby doing nothing too. And now Omega Tyrant has managed to get Luigi to win against every level 9 character in Smash Bros. for Wii U without doing a single thing…

Every Sex Scene In The Witcher 3

At its core, The Witcher 3 is a game about two things: hunting monsters and looking sexy. Surely you’ve noticed that Geralt looks like the leading dude of a trashy romance novel, yeah? I can’t be the only one that pauses at Geralt’s obsession with slathering oil on stuff, right? Before the game even released,…

There’s Playable Bruce Campbell In Next Week’s Call Of Duty DLC

Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s “Supremacy” DLC hits Xbox Live next week, adding Bruce Campbell to the lineup of playable survivors in the game’s Exo Zombie co-op mode. With only four slots, who gets cut? Yeah, “Supremacy” comes with four brand-new maps for folks who enjoy shooting at each other—Kremlin, Parliament, Compound, and Skyrise, a…

Life Is Strange Episode 3 Ended On One Hell Of A Cliffhanger

Holy crap. Warning: There will be spoilers for Life Is Strange in this post, obviously! I’ve been playing hours and hours of The Witcher 3 in the last week, but I needed a break from the witching, and the newest Life Is Strange episode seemed like the perfect palette cleanser. What I didn’t expect was…

A Horror Game Where You Can’t See

There are lots of first-person games, but how many of the characters are blind? Perception, a new horror game from some ex-BioShock and Dead Space developers, is using that as its hook. Right now, whether or not Perception exists is a big maybe, as it’s currently trying to raise $150,000 on Kickstarter. The game’s been…

Heroes Of The Storm Team Recovers After Being One Point Away From Defeat

I don’t think anyone has bitten their nails as hard as the people who played in this match. Like other MOBAs, the goal in Heroes of the Storm is to take out the opposing team’s base—one building specifically, known simple as the “core.” A match ends when the health bar for one team’s core has…

Nobody Is As Good As Nintendo At Making Cute Games

Nintendo’s greatest skill will always be game design. Whatever else you might think about Nintendo games, their design is often exquisite, relying on elegant visual and gameplay cues and your natural curiosity to guide you rather than tutorial prompts and objective markers. People who’ve grown up with Nintendo are fluent in the language of this…

Dying Light‘s Japanese Censorship Is Almost Dead

In Japan, video games with dismembered human bodies and red blood are often censorsed. Dying Light is no exception. Make that, was When Dying Light was released in Japan earlier this spring, the in-game blood looked green or blue. In the above GIF, you can see how Dying Light’s Japanese version (greenish blood and all)…

World of Warcraft Class Quests, Then And Now

Class specific quests in World of Warcraft are long gone. These unique quest chains were once part of the leveling process and made players journey through entire continents and dungeons just to obtain a unique mount or ability. It took time to finish them. But not anymore. Nixxiom’s made a short nostalgia trip and his…

The First 60 Seconds! Of The Nuclear Apocalypse Are The Hardest

The nuke sirens go off and you’ve got one minute to grab your family and everything they’ll need to survive a ‘50s style fallout shelter. What do you do? In the case of my first 60 seconds with Robot Gentleman’s 60 Seconds! for the PC, I panicked, which is not a thing one is recommended…

The Mad Max Game Has Me Less Excited Than The Movie

It’d take one hell of a video game to live up to the brilliant, relentless action of Mad Max: Fury Road. This does not appear to be that video game. I got to play the Mad Max game during a brief hands-on session in Los Angeles last week, and although the upcoming game does a…

Final Fantasy VII’s Cosmo Canyon, the home of Red XIII and his tribe, has been redrawn beautifully by Tumblr user hot-fish.

Tracking Where A Mouse Moves While Gaming

Over the weekend, Gking19 posted the results of an interesting experiment: tracking the movement of the mouse through their favourite video games. Most were played for around 30 minutes (TF2 being the exception), and it’s fascinating looking at just where the mouse travels most often, and where it comes to rest. Take Company of Heroes,…

Halo vs Call Of Duty Battle Escalates Quickly

This is great. This video—which introduces just about every explosion, tribute and gag you could think of between the two blockbuster series—was made by the same team behindthat impressive NERF gunfight from last year. In case you were wondering where you’d seen this particular brand of hyper-excited Australian screen violence before.
